Dear Editor,

On June 13, 2013, at the Farmersâ€™ Market in Broken Bow, I witnessed one of the most touching incidents I have seen in a long time. One of the vendors was displaying an American flag at her spot in the park. A young boy with his Grandma were shopping and as he approached the flag, he paused, lowered his head and proceeded to recite the â€śPledge of Allegianceâ€ť verbatim!! I was nearly moved to tears!! Oh what a moment to capture if I had only had a camera.

Thank you, Oliver, for being a â€śray of hopeâ€ť to this senior citizen and also thank you to all of the individuals in this young boyâ€™s life who have guided him in this direction. GOOD JOB ALL!
